Robert J Morton - Non-conformist I may look like a sad case of conformism, but appearance is deceptive. Non-conformism is of the mind, and in that domain I have never conformed. Email: robmorton@clara.net

Once upon a time I was a software developer, systems analyst and programmer who was also a technical writer. I worked in the IT industry for over 25 years. Then in 1991, by a combination of circumstances I was forced into long-term unemployment, since when I have had to exist on this miserly pittance called welfare. This fired me into an incisive analysis of the society in which I live, and from thence to ask - and seek answers to - the most fundamental questions of life. The result was my book The Lost Inheritance.

The Lost Inheritance This book delivers a forthright indictment against capitalism for the unjustifiable disparity it has inflicted upon the inhabitants of Planet Earth. It then ventures a suggestion for a better and fairer way of turning work into wealth, based on an alternative concept of family and community which is neither capitalist nor socialist.

This book covers a vast range of topics, among which are:

A Relative Society - physical reality forces all to have a different point of view.

Misunderstanding - the nature of language itself guarantees misunderstanding.

A Fairer Society - equal opportunity necessitates equal means.

A Higher Reality - is the physical reality we perceive just the tip of an iceberg?

It also contains some philosophical poems:

The Lost Inheritance - a bitter-sweet lament about our planet.

Millennia - A poem about the retrogression of human progress.

The Corporate Clock - A poem about stress in the modern world.

War and Peace? - A poem about long-term unemployment.

"I claim my fundamental human right to be able to express my opinion freely, as I have done in my book The Lost Inheritance. To help preserve this right for all, I lend my support to the Blue Ribbon Online Free Speech Campaign." - Robert J. Morton.
